In this episode, I talk with Sarah Becktel about her sources of income and how she has increased her income by 25% in the last 3 years by being very deliberate about where and how she shows her work.

Sarah does sell through galleries, but she has recently increased her self-sales by 400% by focusing on 3 specific types of indoor shows every year. She breaks them down as follows:

  • One indoor art fair, which she considers her solo exhibition for the year
  • Two fine art and craft shows
  • One curated and juried holiday market

You鈥檒l hear Sarah discuss the difference among these, including their costs and the type of work she brings to each.

鉁达笍 COMING UP: THE MONEY PLAN

If you aren鈥檛 clear about where your money is coming from, I strongly encourage you to figure it out. It鈥檚 only with that clarity that you can plan properly for the future. I can help with that.

Soon after the release of this episode I鈥檒l be leading The Money Plan artist success workshop. Seating at the live sessions of the workshop鈥攚here you can ask questions and interact with other artist-planners鈥攚ill be limited, and there will also be a replay available. But if you want to attend live, you need to get on the interest list. You can hit pause right now and go to artbizsuccess.com/moneyplan to make sure you don鈥檛 miss it.
